In May, 2010, concerns about the safety of the clean-up operation culminate in a little-known incident.

4. Three Days in May

The largest oil spill in American history captivated the public's attention for the entire summer of 2010. Authorities told a story of a herculean response effort that made shorelines safe and avoided a worst case scenario. Was that really the whole picture?

From Western Sound and APM Studios, Ripple is a new series investigating the stories we were told were over.

In Season One, we travel hundreds of miles across the Gulf Coast to learn the ongoing effects of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill - which are still impacting many coastal residents more than a decade later.

Right now in the US, there is a GAS BOOM. A liquified natural gas boom — or LNG. The US produces the most LNG in the world. And the epicenter of this massive expansion? It’s here on the Gulf Coast.
Today, we’re sharing a special episode from Sea Change. Sea Change is back for a new season that tackles a range of issues, bringing new investigations into whether a global gas expansion based on the Gulf Coast threatens to upend the world’s climate goals and how money from the fossil fuel industry could influence university research. Sea Change unpacks the most captivating and challenging topics impacting our coasts. Like this episode, part of a special 3-part series with the Pulitzer Center’s nationwide Connected Coastlines, featuring the perspectives and experiences of individuals affected by the expansion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants in the Cameron Parish area of Louisiana.
